Changes in this release
==================
# Device-types
## New device-types
New supported devices:
* morello
# Authentications
Allow to enable login with multiple social accounts at once. The login page
will display the available options with logos.
# Environment
The dispatcher IP is now available in the test shell actions as
`LAVA_DISPATCHER_IP`.
# Git authentication
LAVA can now clone from authenticated git repositories. The credentials
should be present in the local environment variable, for example via the
`secrets` dictionary. LAVA dispatcher now expands environment variables in
git urls:
```yaml
actions:
- test:
definitions:
- repository: https://${USER}:${TOKEN}@example.com/definitions.git
from: git
[...]
secrets:
USER: MY_USER
TOKEN: MY_TOKEN
```
# lava-docker-worker
The LAVA team advice to replace `lava-worker` by `lava-docker-worker` as
this daemon will automatically upgrade and downgrade the local lava-woker
container to match the remote server version.
For this release, the `lava-docker-worker` daemon stability as been improve
a lot in this release. This is now used in production at Linaro.
# Overlays
The lava dispatcher is now able to run `img2simg` after applying the
overlays. Users should add `spare: true`:
```yaml
rootfs:
url: "http://example.com/rootfs.ext4.xz"
format: ext4
sparse: true
overlays:
modules:
url: "http://example.com/modules.tar.xz"
[...]
```
# Server performances
## logging interval
Starting from this release, the default logging interval is set to 5s.
lava-run will now send the job logs every 5s, instead of every seconds.
This should decrease the load on the LAVA server.
## Scheduler lock
Prior to this release, the lava-scheduler process was locking the worker
table during the scheduling. On large instances, this would prevent the
workers to update their status.
Starting from this release, lava-scheduler is not locking the worker table
anymore.
# XML-RPC API
## Device-types
The XML-RPC API is now returning the `health_denominator` and
`health_frequency` when calling `scheduler.device_types.show`. This
function will also return a boolean (`default_template`) indicating if this
device-type is using a custom templare or the default one.
## Devices
The XML-RPC API allows to change the device-type of a specific device when
calling `scheduler.devices.update`.
## workers
The XML-RPC API call `scheduler.workers.show` is now returning booleans
(`default_config`, `default_env` and `default_env_dut`) to indicate if the
worker is using a custom config (env or env-dut) file.
